Motion Sickness Of Time Travel, the project
Georgia's super-prolific drone-maker Rachel Evans, crafted
shimmering, ethereal electronic compositions on her frequent recordings:
A Forest Aching Cold (2009), whose eight-minute
A Forest Aching Cold evolves via minimalist repetition from gloomy
rumble to radiant fractal-like bubbling,
the four-song EP Red Tide (2010),
the three-song EP The Sound Of Reality Dissolving (2010), with the
melancholic accordion-like circular adagio of It Is Unfortunate But True
and the undulating and fading What Falls From The Sky,
Seeping Through The Veil Of The Unconscious (Digitalis, 2010), her first major
statement (notably the pulsing industrial
Telepathy, flooded with otherworldly voices and android hisses,
Magnetism, a synth vignette a` la
Tonto's Expanding Head Band drifting into sidereal abysses,
the naive wordless singsong The Alchemical Dream over dirty beats and
natural sounds,
and Clairvoyance, a soft heartbeat, a tinkling leitmotiv
a` la Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells
and the echo of distant breathing),
the 20-minute piece Existential Sphinx (2011),
Awakening (2010), containing the 20-minute 1984 Or The Secret Place and her seductive zenith Awakening (like Enya falling into a black hole),
Luminaries & Synastry (Digitalis, 2011), with the majestic and ghostly
The Walls Were Dripping With Stars, the supremely dilated nursery
rhyme in aquatic reverbs of Eight Nineteen, the dancing keyboards,
childish vocals and alien distortions of Late Day Sun Silhouettes,
the three-song EP Sistrum (2011),
White Candle (2011),
Dreamcatcher (2011),
Crystal Anniversary (2011), with the hysterical raga-like
Lotus Flower in a thick synth register,
etc.
Her vocals are either mixed inside the electronic sounds or float freely and
gently over them.
The problem (as usual with prolific artists) is that each release contains
a lot of unedited fluff, and even the pieces that work are generally stretched
too thin.
She also plays in
Quiet Evenings with her husband Grant Evans of Nova Scotian Arms.
She streamlined her visions quite a bit for
Motion Sickness Of Time Travel (Spectrum Spools, 2012), that sounds
like a much more conventional parade of electronic watercolors.
